When do you think IGN or all the other major game sites will start posting reviews? A week before release? I

Review (Media)/Verb/: To inspect a piece of media saying it's either good or bad, to advise people if they should buy it or not. Reviews are made AFTER the release, see "preview".

Very wrong to say that reviews are made after the game is released. Most gaming magazines/websites get special access to the game about 2weeks before it releases. This is so they have a reasonable amount of time to play it and then release their REVIEW so that gamers like us will know if it is worth the buy or not.

Wrong, look at the post above. Don't post idiotic 'truths' without first looking at the 'facts' AKA all the games that have had reviews made before the release date. What, you think the reviewers walk into their local GAME to purchase it when it comes out? .. haha.

Maybe they've received it already and will be posting a review when they finished playing... so there could be two reasons for not posting a review yet:

1. It's too difficult for them and they just can't finish it http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/compsmash.gif

2. They are so addicted they can't find time to write anything http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

I think it will be around a week before release, but it could well be a day before release. But don't remember that IGN, Gamespot and the like will probably be competing for the fastest and best review out there. As they always do.

Do ye think they have the game already I think so cause its gone gold so they were probably sent one straight away and its a long game so I think they are playing it right now.Lucky.

Famitsu, a Japanese gaming magazine, gave AC a 37/40...or 9.25.

Don't get snippy with me, young man.

Well IGN has posted the review for Smackdown vs Raw 2008, which comes out the same day i belive as AC so maybe we might see AC up there in a day or two...just speculation on my part.
